@chocolatesuze Beautiful French food with the best view of Vivid #whalebridge #sydney #vivid #vividsydney #circularquay #sydneyfrenchrestaurant #sydneyrestaurants #sydneyfrenchfood ♬ original sound – ChocolateSuze

Birthday month has kicked off and what better way to celebrate than eating French food at Whalebridge in Circular Quay and watching the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge light up for Vivid.

We started with the most deliciously smooth and rich duck liver parfait on slices of brioche. Followed by the incredible double baked 18month Comte cheese soufflé and the soul warming French onion soup with Gruyère croutons.

For mains we ordered the duck confit with Toulouse sausage and lentils but the highlight was definitely the perfectly cooked Angus sirloin steak frites with cafe de Paris butter and golden fries.

We finished up with a chocolate tart and went to see a bit more of Vivid.

@chocolatesuze Best wine bar with awesome snacks #newtown #continentaldeli #sydney #sydneywinebar #sydneyrestaurants ♬ original sound – ChocolateSuze

If you’re after a great wine bar with delicious snacks then Continental Deli in Newtown is my fave place to visit.

The roast beef French dip sandwich with an intense beef jus is incredible and only available at lunch.

For our charcuterie plate we ordered Pino’s Truffled Salami and some prosciutto and for our cheese plate Brillat Savarin, Oak blue and the Maffra Cloth-Ashed cheddar.

I couldn’t resist the Nardin white anchovies and a must order is the steak tartare with the best waffle cut potato chips.

For dessert we’ve gone the tinned options with the Can-acotta, a rosemary infused Panna Cotta and of course the flan in a can.

To finish we end with an ice cold mar-tinny.

@chocolatesuze Bò Né is the perfect soul comfort food at Cô Ba, Marrickville #sydney #marrickville #sydneyvietnamesefood #BòNé #sydneyrestaurants ♬ original sound – ChocolateSuze

With winter fast approaching I’m craving soul comforting foods. Cô Ba in Marrickville serves Vietnamese street food and one of my favourite dishes to eat is their Bò Né, which is sizzling steak and egg. It comes with a crusty baguette that’s perfect for dipping into the egg and soaking up all the sauce.

There’s a pretty generous amount of steak and I loved the dollop of pate. The standard Bò Né is only $20 but treat yourself and add on cheese and sausage for another $4.

@chocolatesuze Pop up food trucks now at 150 McEvoy St, Alexandria next to the Bunnings for the next few months! #sydney #sydneyfoodtrucks #alexandria ♬ original sound – ChocolateSuze

Just opposite the Bunnings in Alexandria is the new home for a bunch of food trucks which have set up shop for the next few months.

We started off at East Blue Seafood with a lobster roll with chips, the brioche roll holds a good amount of garlic butter lobster and comes with purple cabbage and apple slaw.

Next was 305 Shack for a cubano, this sandwich was not quite what I was expecting in that the pork were pieces and not slices but it was tasty.

I’d been looking forward to Phat Asian Fusion and their ramyun burger is insane. There’s super crispy and juicy chicken pieces and shin ramen with melted cheese and seaweed. We also got the mochi balls which were so light and perfect with the peanut dipping sauce.

And last stop was at The Ramen Kitchen for a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. This ramen was so good in the torrential rain, the egg had the perfect gooey centre, the charsiy was fatty and tender and the noodles had the perfect bite.

The food trucks aren’t organised by anyone so check their ig’s for when theyre open.
